Gods and Monsters

Something's in the water
And it's poisoning our brains
We're all anxious and insane
And ashamed
Something's really wrong here
Did we drink from the same cup
All our gods have given up
To the monsters who can't feed enough
I'll say that I'm afraid
If you say that you're okay
One more truth to take away
We're better than our yesterdays
Don't grow colder
This fight's not over
Darkness could consume us
And we're moths drawn to the flame
It's a hunger to be named
Oh, what a shame
This darkness is...
It's been louder than love
Shown us what we are
Leave out all the rest
No more heroes dead
I'll say that I'm afraid
If you say that you're okay
Of all the truth to take away
We're better than our yesterdays
Don't grow colder
This fight's not over
When will I let it go?
When I'm six feet below?
No
Push the undertow
This fight is not over!
Of all the truth to take away
We're better than our yesterdays
Don't grow colder
This fight's not over

Are We Safe

Wait
I thought all good things come to those who wait
Our patience is wearing thin
It's getting late
Let the lights just slowly burn
Our scars we share begin to fade
Into the night, we start to wade
Are we safe?
Are we harlots and holy?
The opposite of lonely?
Safe
From what I've done
Hate
Help me forget that I am what I hate
Our devils deal in red
And lines of grey
Left convictions at the door
At your altar, I begin to pray
"Please, oh, please just let me stay"
Safe
Are we harlots and holy?
The opposite of lonely?
Safe
And I want you to know me
I want you to show me
Safe
From what I've...

Coded Words
04:11
|

I am the pariah who persevered among the martyrs
I am the awkward son who learned to love without his father
I am the bullet in the gun of not-so-quiet contention
Among the dying few who beg of more than small solutions
Speak no more
Show me what you're worth
I'm tired of coded words
You make me sick
We are the effected who tire of the same safe harbor
We are the parents who are tired of losing their own daughters
We are the bullets in the gun to kill your noise pollution
Among the trying few who beg a fucking revolution
Speak no more
Show me what you're worth
I'm tired of coded words
The truth's gone astray
Does this hurt you?
Like I hoped it do?
Split you right in two?
You make me sick
Speak no more
Show me what you're worth
I'm tired of coded words
Give me truth's light of day
Does this hurt you?
Like I hoped it do?
Split you right in two?
You make me sick

The Collapse
05:22

Euphoria
Has distorted out of frame
My manic brain
Has turned on me again
WHY?!
These vicious thoughts turn into mass delusion
NO!
Please stand by for a word from confusion
Happiness
Is a gift, I guess
And if it's one thing I've learned
If there's a notion gained
I need to turn this around
Before I go insane
Could you stop the collapse?
Could you be my tether?
(DON'T YOU GIVE UP ON ME)
I'm trying not to relapse
I'm trying to get better
(PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON ME)
